After contacting their rep, he sent over two models, on being the Flex SA-F03, a tan, entry level, budget-minded offering.

Perun Clicker Installation and Review ASTKilo23 2023-07-01 | Perun is one of the first companies to release a realistic trigger for an AEG! The Clicker, a small, light-weight, and inexpensive component that can be added to their V2 Hybrid Mosfet to give you Airsoft gun a realistic firearm-like great and release for the trigger. It is fairly compatible with most V2 gearboxes and triggers, assuming TM-compatibility. Your Hybrid Mosfet does have to be set to level 5 trigger sensitivity for correct functionality.

Arcturus C.A.T. Versatile (AT-CAT-06) AEG Review ASTKilo23 2023-05-15 | Arcturus continues to innovate with their latest release, the C.A.T. series. In this video I take a close look at least expensive option in this series, the Versatile model. The unique adjustable pre-cocking feature allows the user to tune how far back the piston is cycled after each discharge. The stock is extremely unique in that the bottom section can be swapped between three different components, one of which is a larger battery compartment. The lower gearbox has been updated so that there is little to no modification needed to switch from the existing microswitch to any number of ETUs. Enjoy the review, see if this is the right Airsoft replica for your next purchase.
Arcturus AK12 PE Complete Gearbox Review/Comparison ASTKilo23 2023-01-28 | Arcturus has been making a wave in the Airsoft world with their latest released. The PE model of their AK gearbox is no exception. With quality parts and a range of awesome upgrades, it is a drop in gearbox for many AKs (not just Arcturus) that will instantly boost the performance and features of your AEG. It is currently available and many retailers and quite impressive. In this video I compare it to the 1st generation Arcturus AK12 gearbox, which used a microswitch and was far less compatible with regular TM standard parts. This new PE model returns to the tradition of having a mostly TM standardized spec, allowing for other upgrades and replacement parts to be used.Link to Perun V3 Hybrid mosfet review for features reference:youtu.be/kT24kGVZe9s

I Updated My E&L AK12 w/ Arcturus Parts - How Did It Turn Out? ASTKilo23 2022-11-01 | Arcturus gave me an interesting task: take any AK platform AEG that I have and see how many Arcturus parts I could install in it. Many of the parts they sent me were for the AK12, so I decided to use my E&L AK12 (that E&L previously sent me for review) as a starting point. This build turned out to be a lot of work, and quite an interesting, if not semi exhausting, process. Watch and see how it turned out!
